George Whitefield Chadwick, Pioneer of American Music

Author: Collin David

American composer George Whitefield Chadwick has fallen into obscurity, but should be recognized as one of America's leading composers of nationalist classical music. He wrote American nationalist music well before Dvorak ever came to this country, but he receives little credit. David argues that Chadwick's name should stand alongside Dvorak's as a great pioneer of American classical music.
